    Hey you guys that did the BenWa rear sliding window mod., or anyone who knows.!!

    How do I remove the black plastic behind the rear seats..?? I've removed the 3 screws holding each side to the body, but there must still be plastic clips or something holding it, as I can't get them off.... I don't want to force and break anything..??

    Can anyone help, please...!!

    Thanx guys.

    Maybe you can shove some foam between the bed and those vents and see if anything changes. I am afraid what you might be hearing is transmitted from the drive train.

    I just shoved a folded windshield shade down there to block the vent. Noise is still there although doesn't seem as loud. I still think its the drive shaft harmonic at certain rotational speeds

    Not a bad idea... I can shove something behind the cab to block those vents and see if there is a difference... maybe a 4' piece of pink insulation....

    Thanx for the idea... I feel no vibration or anything that would lead me to believe that it was drivetrain related...just sounds like road noise... Open window kinda noise...!!
